Pros

PTO is good for full time employees.

Cons

Etics are questinable. Managers speak like politician's. You are expected to know how the manager would handle an account, when management changes their mind daily. You must find a way to ship product regardless of the customers creditworthiness. Thus credit lines are increased for no reason other than to ship. Meanwhile management expects all accounts to be collected AT or BEFORE terms. Ship everything And have a percent current over 93%. Goals are unachievable, work load is beyond 40 hrs /week, but management does not allow overtime. At best Management is either clueless or simply inept. Income smoothing is a normal process. Management thrives on double talk and playing the hero to the GMs. They will tell you to delay shipping, knowing that Everything will ship at 5 and if sales calls they will ship the product. The lack of ability to hold a customer accountable has gone far that i have sales reps stating to hold a customer and we ship. You are a number. Corp does not care about the individual, we have a blizzard, 20 inches, and the company will not close. No holiday parties. No team events. Temps are training temps. Temps will not be hired full time for at least 12 months, I've seen longer.

Pros

I had a very positive experience interning at Arrow Electronics. The management team was supportive and approachable, and communication was clear and consistent throughout my time there. Expectations were well‑defined, and I always knew where to go if I had questions or needed guidance. My coworkers were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, which made collaboration smooth and enjoyable. Arrow also has a strong support system in place for interns, which helped create an environment where learning and growth were encouraged. Overall, Arrow Electronics provided a well‑structured and professional internship experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the team. I would recommend Arrow to students looking for a solid and supportive internship environment.

Cons

I truly cannot think of much other than IT related hurdles which slowed down progress on my projects initially.
